The President of the Republic Nicos Anastasiades will visit Israel on November 9 at the invitation of Israeli President Isaac Herzog, where he will be awarded the country's highest honour.
According to an official statement, President Anastasiades will be awarded the honorary distinction for his decisive contribution to the strategic cooperation between Israel and the Republic of Cyprus.
It is recalled that at a ceremony held on Monday evening, the President of the Republic was decorated with the Order of Knights of Pope Pius IX by the Prime Minister of the Holy See, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. This is a supreme honorary distinction awarded by the Pope in exceptional cases, as the Prime Minister said during the ceremony.
It is worth noting that this is the 15th honorary distinction that President Anastasiades has received from leaders or heads of state and government.
During his term of office, the President of the Republic was also honored, among others, by four patriarchates and four educational institutions that conferred honorary doctorates on President Anastasiades.
